Glad you brought up "fallacious" because the bolded most certainly is.

WHAT is he doing differently besides acting like a spoiled 6 year old?
And once again you fallaciously infer I support the two-party system when I've said any number of times I would've voted for your little hero had he run as an (I) with a good shot at destroying that system. Time to stop your LIES about what I support.
ISIS is an acronym for a country like the USA is an acronym for a country. And that country is poorly equipped compared to when we went to fight Saddam during the 1st Gulf War. If the USA can't defeat a ragtag country then it has zero business squaring off with first rate military powers like Russia and China.
Al Qaida was not and is not a country. It is an an NGO.
Okay, let me explain it like this. An NGO is the KKK. The state of Mississippi is not an an NGO.
ISIS would be the equivalent of Mississippi and any Al Qaida in it would be the equivalent of Al Qaida.
How to destroy ISIS is pretty simple. As General Mattie himself has said--the same thing I have been saying--you anihilation them. A war of anihilation vs a war of attrition.
War of attrition is what we have been fighting against Assad and what we fought against Saddam in the 1st Gulf War. In mathematics it might be looked at something like this: 100 - 40 = 60 (war of attrition) and 100 - 100 = 0 (war of anihilation).
In a war of attrition are trying to get your opponent to tap out, to come to the table to cede to your demands, for a political win.
In war of annihilation you are hoping no one survives. You end the roach infestation by killing all the roaches. No more roaches to have sex and create more babies to infest your house.
To clarify things, you are proposing to annihilate ISIS. To do that you'd have to kill every Muslim man, woman and child in this world, plus destroy every shred of their "civilization". Otherwise, another ISIS can pop up in Malaysia, etc. Do you concur?

WHY would you do it? At what cost in American blood and taxpayer $$$? Why not lleave the killing to those most threatened?

Fighting ISIS or fighting the forces of those who oppose him under the guise of fighting ISIS?

Both. His main fight has been with anti-Assad forces because those forces held the border area between Assad and the ISIS, thus creating a buffer. Now that the buffer has shrank, Assad forces are in more direct contact with ISIS.
Again, there is a reality world and a fantasy world.
This is American politics we are talking about. A quick war is better than a long one. What you two said are all good, but it will never happen.
Is that so? Didn't Cheney and W say the Iraqis would be dancing in the streets greeting our troops with flowers. Fourteen years and no revelry yet. Quick and war = oxymoron.
ISIS will never be defeated. They are stateless and regardless of how much territory they may relinquish temporarily, they will re-emerged again and again. Now that is reality.

Then let them have at it. Why should it be our fight when other countries in the region with their own militaries face a bigger threat?
